"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2810782\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madam Speaker, it is really hard for those of us who know and care about this issue. We talk to our constituents all the time and we know the struggles and the fight for an increase in the OAS and GIS because of the fact that people are living on $15,000 a year. We need to be moving forward and having a discussion and debate on real pension reform for future Canadians so they have opportunities to save and invest their money. Investing in things like the supplementary Canada pension plan would make it very easy for people, even homemakers and the self-employed, to be able to put a few dollars aside so that when they get to be 65 years old, which is the age that we on this side believe is the right age for retirement, people will have an opportunity to start second careers and to have the money to do that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2810782\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est vraiment difficile pour nous, car nous savons ce qu'il en est et nous sommes pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par la situation. Nous discutons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement avec nos \u00e9lecteurs, et nous savons que les gens r\u00e9clament une hausse des prestations de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse et du Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti parce que certains vivent avec 15 000 $ par ann\u00e9e. Il faut aller de l'avant et discuter et d\u00e9battre d'une v\u00e9ritable r\u00e9forme des pensions pour les Canadiens de demain, afin qu'ils aient la possibilit\u00e9 d'\u00e9conomiser et d'investir. Je pense notamment au r\u00e9gime suppl\u00e9mentaire de pensions du Canada, qui permettrait \u00e0 chacun, y compris les personnes au foyer et les travailleurs autonomes, de mettre tr\u00e8s facilement de l'argent de c\u00f4t\u00e9 de telle sorte qu'\u00e0 65 ans, ce qui correspond de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre \u00e0 ce que nous croyons \u00eatre l'\u00e2ge appropri\u00e9 de la retraite, tous puissent avoir la chance d'entreprendre une nouvelle carri\u00e8re et de disposer de l'argent n\u00e9cessaire pour y parvenir. </p>"
